CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TOFFEE CUPCAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 24 cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, milk, cocoa, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt and eggs. Mix until smooth. Add the baking soda to 1 cup water. Add baking soda mixture to the batter. Mix well (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter into baking cups, filling three-quarters of the way up. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
- To assemble: Place the Caramel in a pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Push the tip through the bottom of paper liner to fill each cupcake. Add the Whipped Frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe a swirl of the frosting onto each cupcake, covering the filling. Sprinkle the Toffee over the frosting. Transfer the cupcakes to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, stir together the granulated sugar, milk, butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and the salt. While stirring, bring to a boil. Cook for 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let cool.
- Chill the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer.
- Add the heavy cream to the chilled bowl. Whip with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and continue to whip until thoroughly combined and stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over beat. Blend in the vanilla extract.
- Spray a large cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Combine the butter, granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a heavy pan. Stir constantly at a simmer until the mixture turns brown (like a brown paper bag). Pour the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Break the chocolate bar onto the toffee while still hot. With the back of a spoon, spread the chocolate evenly. Let cool and then break into small pieces.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
- For the caramel sauce: In a small, heavy saucepan, mix together the brown sugar, cream, vanilla and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and browns. Set aside to cool. Reserve 1/4 cup for the cake batter and 1/2 cup for the frosting; set aside the rest for drizzling on top of the cupcakes.
- For the cake batter: On an ungreased baking sheet, roast the cashews for 5 minutes; cool and chop into pieces. Reserve 1/4 cup for the batter and set aside the rest for garnishing the cupcakes.
- Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk, oil, orange zest, vanilla extract, eggs and the reserved 1/4 cup caramel sauce and 1/4 cup chopped cashews. Mix until smooth and completely combined.
- Pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake until golden brown and risen, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.

- To assemble: Frost each cupcake with some of the caramel frosting. Drizzle the remaining caramel over the top of each cupcake and sprinkle with the remaining chopped cashews. Sprinkle with orange zest to taste. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole cake tin with paper cases.
- Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract. Briefly mix in the flour until just combined, and stir in the milk until the batter just falls off the beaters.
- Divide the mixture between the cases, leaving about 2 tbsp batter in the bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the caramel sauce if it's not salted caramel, then add ½ tsp to the tops of each cupcake. Use a teaspoon to cover the caramel sauce with the remaining batter. Bake for 15-20 mins until springy and golden. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the icing. Beat the butter and half of the icing sugar together, then tip in the remaining icing sugar and whisk vigorously until pale and fluffy. Stir in half of the caramel sauce, then spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a round or star nozzle.
- Pipe swirls of icing on top of the cooled cupcakes. Stir the remaining caramel sauce with a pinch of salt, if unsalted, then use to drizzle over the icing. Sprinkle over a small pinch of sea salt over each, if you like.

- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, plus a second pan with only 2 liners. Fill empty cups halfway with water to prevent the pan from warping. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, beat the butter and sugars together at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until no flour remains, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Slowly stir in the milk. Do not overmix the batter.
- Fill each cupcake liner only 1/2 way full with batter. Bake cupcakes for 22-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool before frosting, about 1 hour.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, add brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir constantly over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add salt. Allow to bubble for 3 full minutes, no more. Remove from heat and allow to slightly cool, only about 15 minutes. Do not place in the refrigerator to cool. With a hand mixer at medium speed, beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, until you reach desired consistency. Add a little heavy cream if you’d like the frosting a little creamier or thinner (I usually add 1-2 Tablespoons). Add more salt if the frosting tastes too sweet. Frost cooled cupcakes and adorn with salted caramel candies. Cupcakes stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature and 5 in the refrigerator.

- Pre-heat oven to 350F. Line a 12-cupcake pan with cupcake liners or grease it with butter and flour.
- Grind nuts until they are coarse. Don’t let them become a paste. You want some of the texture of the nuts in your Pastry Cream.
- For this recipe you may use store-bought caramel if you want to. Just pay attention to the consistency of it and how that’s going to affect the smoothness of your buttercream. If necessary, add more powdered sugar, or more milk by the tablespoon to the buttercream to adjust the consistency. If you’d like to use homemade, here’s a recipe for you.
